holiday recovery

Took me a couple of days, but I'm back in the swing of things, determined to make 2007 a good year.

Enjoyed a couple of days at Massanutten resort in VA over the holidays. Snowboarded and my tailbone still won't forget all the wipeouts but good friends, good laughs and relaxing over the course of a couple of days.

But kids remember the dardenst things. They were so happy playing at the rented house, at the new http://www.massresort.com/v.php?pg=4 that I didn't force a ski lesson, thought I would stop their overdirected lives for a day. Then, when getting in the car to come home, my littlest one says to me, "Mom, you didn't teach me how to ski, just like you said you were going to do!" I responded, "I know babe, but you were so happy at the water park and playing that I thought we would just skip it." The eyes start welling it up and the response that came out was, "But mom, I wanted to do it with you and now I didn't get a chance."

Ahhh, once more the the guilt.
